NQ to diazoaminotetrazole in one pot?


I have a substantial quantity of nitroguanidine (~300g), as well as sodium nitrite, zinc dust, and glacial acetic acid, and would like to perform some experiments with derivatives of aminoguanidine.

Principally, I'm interested in salts of diazoaminotetrazole, like in this patent:

Procedures for aminoguanidine are in a couple of places; CoPaE has one, as does Org Syn, but I'd like a one-pot synthesis that obviates the need for an intermediate filtering step.

The key concepts I'm seeing in all of the procedures are "keep the temperature below 40ÂșC" and "the reduction is complete when the yellow color disappears."

The patent for sodium diazoaminotetrazolate involves adding aqueous nitrite to an aminoguanidine salt in acetate buffer solution.

The procedures I've seen for aminoguanidine involve acetic acid and zinc, and usually separate the aminoguanidine from the solution as the nearly-insoluble bicarbonate.

Could a one-pot procedure be developed here that prevents precipitation of the zinc?

Maybe the fact that Zn(2+) is complexated by NH3, N2H4 related molecules....will cause troubles
Zn(OH)2 + 4 NH3 <--==> Zn(NH3)4(OH)2 (soluble)
Zn(OH)2 + 2 H2N-NH2 <--==> Zn(N2H4)2(OH)2 (unsoluble IIRC)
